That's how programming feels nowadays

Two different worlds of programming

Zepto was started by two 19 year olds. Aadit and Kaivalya. Childhood friends from Mumbai. Both got into Stanford. Dropped out during COVID. Came back to India. Could have gone back. Didn't. Saw one gap. Groceries took 2 days minimum. Nobody had cracked 10 minutes. Built a dark store in one Mumbai neighborhood. Stocked it themselves. Delivered orders themselves. Everyone said it was impossible at scale. Roads too chaotic. Demand too unpredictable. Proved them wrong city by city. $5 billion valuation today. Both still under 25. Younger than most MBA graduates. The two Stanford dropouts who came home. Built the fastest grocery delivery company in the world. Before their friends finished their degrees.

Guess which code generated by Al?

Ritesh Agarwal was 17 and homeless. Travelling across India. Staying in cheap lodges. Every room was dirty, overpriced, or both. He started reviewing hotels on a blog. Then thought — what if he just fixed it himself. Dropped out. Applied to Thiel Fellowship. $100k for people who skip college. First Asian to ever win it. Built OYO at 19. Not a hotel chain. Just a brand on top of bad hotels. Standardized the room. Fixed the WiFi. Added a kettle. Owners said yes because OYO filled their empty rooms. Guests said yes because they finally knew what they were getting. 10 years later. 1 million rooms across 35 countries. Youngest self-made billionaire in India. The teenager with a backpack. Built the world's third largest hotel chain.

2026: AGI achieved. 2030: Al surpasses the intelligence of all humans combined. What do you think about this elon musk's opinion?

Do you guys agree? Sad but it's the reality...

When this exists why are people stuck on using windows?

POV: Your boss just discovered Claude Code and now thinks they're the Johnny Sins of software engineering, data science, marketing, design, legal, finance, theoretical physics, world peace, emergency brain surgery, and 50 other functions.

Wait, ChatGPT isn't running on Azure? Then why does it keep going down when AWS has outages?

Never met a Vibe Coder who could explain this.

Just tried Claude Fable 5 Asked it to refactor a small React component. It: -Refactored the component -Migrated our monorepo to a new architecture -Closed 47 Jira tickets -Negotiated a better AWS contract -Fixed my posture -Convinced my dog to stop barking at delivery agents -Reduced p99 latency from 800ms to 12ms -Explained quantum mechanics to my parents -Recovered my lost childhood confidence -I wasn't even near my laptop. Cost: $0.0003 At this point I'm not sure whether Claude Fable 5 is an LLM or the main character of civilization. Thinking of giving it access to my village land dispute next.
